Start with a cube, texture it plainly too look like the FIRST building you want to try modeling.
Build several buildings and then bring them all together as a street scene.

Just flat buildings with texture at first, nothing more.
Then one by one go into more detail with a building at a time.
Replace your cube buildings with the detailed ones.

Keep your buildings as seperate files so you can go back in and do more work if needed.

Sure enough you will have a street scene.

May have to draw it out on paper to keep your plans clear.

$25 to model a street scene, sounds like "what can you do in an hour?"
Will it look like the latest work of Pixar and all your dreams realized? No, never.
Its not a business card.
